During the First Half of the Program: A Twenty-minute Summary of the Origins of This Path of the Masters!
Kabir of the Four Yugas (Epochs) of Time: The Mythological Origins of Sant Mat According to the Bijak of Kabir and Tradition of the Anurag Sagar:
"After some days passed, the Lord Kabir said these words: 'O Dharam Das, I will establish the Kingdom of Forty-Two Incarnations that the work of the souls may be accomplished...' Kabir said: 'You have come into the world by the orders of Sat Purush, and using His Means, You have to liberate the souls. I give You the Kingdom of Forty-two Incarnations, and by You the souls will get their work done...' Kabir Gives the Teachings to Churamani Naam (the Son of Sant Dharam Das), Saying: 'From you will come the forty-two Incarnations who will liberate the souls. From them sixty branches will come out, and from those more will sprout. You will have ten thousand little branches, and they all will continue along with the Incarnations.'" (Anurag Sagar)
